I've been thinking about this same stuff man, I feel your pain.
I think maybe the people in this country deserve a depression so they can see what hard times really are. I saw a survey that counted the percentage of people living in povery (on public assistance) who owned cell phones. You can't afford food but by god you will have your cell phone.
Gotta give Bush credit for having the guts to take on Social Security whether you liked his plan or not. That was the start in his downward trend in popularity. I haven't noticed a Democrat alternative being worked on since they have been in control of Congress. No Guts.
On the other hand Bush adds drug coverage to Medicare before fixing it's solvency problems. As bad as that was the other side attacked him because the plan wasn't generous enough.
The government offers CHIP's for lower income people to get cheap healthcare for their kids and they *self edit* because of a proposed 25.00 a month premium that covered all their kids and even included dental and eye care.
Now we have Obama promising to give people that don't pay income tax now (and in most cases are getting paid through earned income credit) a new "tax cut". Let's not call it welfare because those receiving it might feel bad. You know, I have nothing but respect for people who swallow their pride for the good of their kids and ask for assistance but let's make sure those receiving it truly deserve it. No able bodied person should get a penny's worth of assistance if they aren't working at least 40 hours a week. If there aren't jobs available there are plenty of jobs local government pay to have done that folks on assistance could do until they could find a real job again. Of course the unions would never let that happen. More government employees = more union dues.
I remember when unions were more concerned with working conditions than pushing a political agenda and getting rich.
Bush might suck but his approval rating is double that of Congress. Yet by all indications the voters are going to hand those D cup boobs Harry and Nancy even larger majorities and elect Obama who is ever more left wing than them. With the economic fallout I can understand people wanting to move in a different direction and thinking, right or wrong that Obama is the way to go. But with politicians like Christopher Dodd and Barney Frank ignored and even disputed the trouble at Fanny and Freddie, and Dodd doing so after taking huge amounts of campaign contributions from them I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would vote to keep the Democrats in charge of congress.
